Vitamin Effects on Your Health

America’s obesity epidemic will dwarf the threat of terrorism if the nation does not reduce the number of people who are severely overweight, the surgeon general said Wednesday.

“Obesity is the terror within,” Richard Carmona said during a lecture at the University of South Carolina. “Unless we do something about it, the magnitude of the dilemma will dwarf 9-11 or any other terrorist attempt.”

Well, I have lost another pound. That bring the total to 16. Not bad at all. This is the easiest diet I have even been on, and I have been on a lot. I am not obsessed with food and worrying about what I am going to eat for my next meal. The vitamin effects have made a big difference in my energy. I don’t have to worry about getting proper nutrician either. 20 more pounds to go.

I will be traveling this week to attend my father -in-laws 80th birthday. I don’t want to go off the diet. Measuring and bring scoops of powder do not make much sense. I know I can always get milk anywhere I go, so I am bringing Vi-Shape Nutritional Shake Mix Packets with me. Each packet is pre-measured for you to mix with milk or water. There are 15 packets to a box. It’s just $1.86 a serving.

I am now at week two. I made it though a weekend of parties without gaining any weight. I still had my shakes for breakfast and lunch, which helped me control my appetite. I did drink sangrias and eat cheesecake, but in small portions.

I have found that planning what I am going to have for dinner in advanced helps. I know I can’t stand to eat plain chicken breast and broccoli every night without going out of my mind. I have to make sure everything has a lot of flavor so I am satified with it. I have been using pork tenderloin quite a bit as it low in fat and very versatile. One of my favorite recipes is Marjoram Pork with Mushroom Gravy. Mushrooms have almost no calories, but they fill you up. I use low fat evaporated milk in the gravey. It makes it creamy but doesn’t add a lot of calories.

They had fresh raspberries on sale yesterday at the supermarket, so I had a raspberry shake this morning. Yummo, as Rachael Ray would say. Spaeaking about flavor, I ordered some mix ins for my shakes. They have chocolate and strawberry available. The chocolate Shape up Health Flavor Mix-In has antioxidants that protect your heart. I am a chocoholic from way back, so I am delighted it is good for me. The stawberry flavor also has antioxidants and are sugar and fat free. They are really convenient. I know in the winter, fresh fruit will not be as readily available.

I am so excited. It has been a week since I weighed in at 178 pounds. I am happy to report that I now weigh 164 pounds. Wow! A weight loss of 14 pounds! I did not think this was possible. I can not believe that I am not hungry and cranky all the time. It is easy not to overeat at dinner when you are not very hungry. I definitley have more energy.

It was recommended on the ViSalus website that I take health supplements to get the proper nutrition. The ViPak. The Vi-PAK is an advanced Anti-Aging and Health System designed to give your body the nutrients that most daily diets simply lack. Packed with a chelated Multi-Mineral & Vitamin, a supercharged Antioxidant, a proprietary Omega Vitals blend and a patented Anti-Aging & Energy formula, the Vi-PAK gives your body everything it needs to perform at peak levels.

I know I need to start excersing also. I am planning on starting with 30 minutes of walkiing almost every day. The dog is going to love it.

Please join me on this plan. It is working for me.
